Mint Chutney

Chutney is a popular South Asian condiment which may be prepared with a variety of rich flavors. In India, mint chutneys like this one are often called hari chutney (green chutney) due to their dazzling color. This versatile treat can serve as a marinade, a dip for snacks, or a tasty accompaniment to wraps or fried and grilled entrees.
